Dedicated Deacons

I would like to nominate Jason Shotton (Construction) for Dedicated Deacon recognition. Last week, on a Friday afternoon, a leaking pipe set off a fire alarm at ZSR Library. The leak was somewhere above our Rare Books Room and threatened to cause damage if not fixed. Jason is managing several construction projects at the library this summer, and although the problem was not related to the construction, or was not even in the same part of the building, Jason worked with Facilities to locate the problem and get it fixed, staying into the evening. We really appreciated his willingness to go above and beyond to make sure that none of our irreplaceable materials were in danger of being damaged. – from Susan Smith, Z. Smith Reynolds Library

In an ecosystem designed to advance thought and nurture intellect, physical infrastructure can easily be overlooked. The departments of Information Systems and Facilities & Campus Services fill their staffs with Dedicated Deacons that maintain our buildings, our landscapes, and our networks. Integrating all of our systems and our departments requires sophisticated logistics rarely appreciated because of the assumption that “they should just work.” Recognition and cheers to you, and thank you for your Atlas duties. — from John Track, Wake Forest Fellow, IS

Each of them have been incredibly helpful to our Parent Programs office in connecting students to others on campus for advice and counsel. Through their good work, they have helped parents see how much we care for our students. — from Betsy Chapman, Associate Director, Parents Programs
